Role

I am the technical lead/project manager on a number of projects, most notably on AR-Sci, a 3 year EU funded project aiming to enhance science secondary education and ultimately inspiring students to work with STEM in their future careers.

Other projects include working with Leeds College of Music, developing augmented reality (AR) resources around their music production studios that has gained worldwide recognition.

I was previously involved in the award winning SCARLET project and in other projects across a diverse range of subject areas including sociology, business, medicine, geo-spatial data and cultural heritage.

My role also focuses on the research and development of new technologies and form factors (eg wearables, VR, 3D printing, gamification and haptics), investigating how they can enrich and complement current teaching methods.

Background

I have been developing multimedia resources for the past 17 years, and my passion lies in looking at how innovative technologies can assist in the support of learning at every level.

In recent years, I have been researching augmented reality and other future mediums as a visual tool to engage and enthuse students in their subject areas.

I am focused on using a student-centred approach that can inform future development and ultimately lead to a better learning experience.
